Description
Tolaini Vallenuova Chianti Classico 2020 is a single-vineyard expression from the Vallenuova site on the Tolaini estate, founded in 1998 in Castelnuovo Berardenga. The wine is made from 100% Sangiovese, hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel before maturing in large neutral oak casks. It reflects the purest expression of the site's clay-limestone soils, delivering lifted red cherry and violet aromatics, firm tannins, and a savoury core. Structured and elegant, it's a benchmark Chianti Classico that balances freshness with typicity, ideal for cellaring or pairing with game and aged pecorino.
